Hit the Wilson yesterday in the amazing rain we are finally getting. Thank the gods. Went to one of my favorite fishing holes on the river. Fished it hard with my buddy for about an hour, and decide i was going to walk down to the end of the hole. I'm standing on a large rock listening to the rain hitting my jacket. Suddenly i hear a branch break behind me so i look back and see nothing, just to turn my head back around and my bobber is gone. By the time i focus i see my bobber under water as if i snagged bottom and it pops back up before i could set the hook. Thinking to myself i know i'm not hitting bottom, i just missed a take down. I cast to the same drift nothing happens, again and the bobber is sucked under and fish on!!! This powerful fish i just hooked into starting taking line and my pole is jerking hard. As i turn my head and yell up stream fish on, i catch the end of the tail after the fish just jumped. 30seconds of fighting and BOOM snaps my 12lb line like its nothing. I re rig and head back to that spot pissed that i lost a fish. after two casts a jack salmon pitch black jumps 2 feet in front of me 3 feet out of the water. Then i see the splash of the fish i hooked into and broke off on jump about 100yards downstream.
Continued fishing there and many other holes with no other hits.
